Abstract

The behavioyr of a force-free field has been studied in a Reissner-Nordström metric. An expansion in tensor harmonics of even-odd parity reduced the radial equations in a differential equation of the Sturm-Liouville system which was solved asymptotically in a conveniently defined space coordinate. Further, it has been possible to regularize the singular behaviour of the Reissner-Nordström metric at the event horizon and the modified metric to be given explicitly.
